For people dealing with Lyme disease or chronic inflammatory conditions, standard detox protocols often make things worse before they make them better — if they help at all. The reason is almost always the same: the immune and detox systems are more entangled than the protocol accounts for.
Dr. Christopher Shade joins Dr. Emmie Brown and Melissa Gentile on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast to explore what actually goes wrong in detox for chronically ill patients — and how to rebuild the approach from the ground up. The conversation covers the link between chronic inflammation, immune regulation, and detox capacity, why autophagy and NRF2 are central to cellular repair and toxin clearance, and how liposomal delivery systems change what’s clinically achievable for patients who haven’t responded to standard protocols.
